every drop of water that rests
and decides to fall
has a lesson
to teach us all
that beginning
often follow an end
the life full of serendipities
stranger becomes friend
reads between the lines
remains silent
calms angst
shifts the gaze from the violence
the drop of water eventually falls
upon the thirsty earth breaking apart
always believe and never give up
i whisper to my heart
some beginnings
don’t seem to have a start
they simply exist
somewhere deep within the heart
free and fearless
devoid of judgement and scrutiny
until end of eternity
a beautiful mystery
An intriguing and thoughtful piece, Sobhana, with the allusion to the droplet, where the initial change before falling may be very gradual, and later appears to happen suddenly. At critical moments, I think we decide instinctively, but otherwise, if I look at myself, it seems that quite a range of events in life have an influence, and eventually all those influences add up to some decision. Very much enjoyed the poem.

Happy you enjoyed it, Steve. You are so right about influences adding up to a decision…sometimes life changing.
